Experience both with crinone gel..To those who have experienced both BFN and BFP - Do you experience a difference in using crinone gel during the TWW? Like is it starkly more difficult to insert the stick for the cycle that you get BFP? Cause I read somewhere that the vaginal wall will thicken if you’re pregnant, so it got me thinking if that will also lead to some form of “closing” / “blocking” of foreign object from going in... thus harder for crinone stick to go in? Or no difference?
1st cycle, BFN - more brownish/blackish discharges.
2nd cycle, BFP - no such discharges
For both, the insertion was alright.. trick is to get the entrance of our vaginal openings wet. Best way is to pee then wash/clean up with water then lay down and insert it. It will be very smooth.
Our cervix opening or OS will be closed or tighten up once a BFP has been detected with a layer of mucus plug. This is to avoid infections to go up to the womb and mess up the growth of the lil embryos.. even if you perform sexual intercourse unprotected, it wont go through your cervix. But it's advisable to avoid unprotected sex until the Pregnancy is well established.
Our vaginal walls will be swollen as days progress due to more blood flows to that region to provide more oxygen and circulations which some may experience, like a firm or non painful swelling of their labias.. its normal.
But the water trick is the safest option to use to insert crinone gel. Do not use any lubricants for the insertion. I find that laying on bed is the easiest method to insert. Also the angle we position when inserting it plays a big part too! Hope this helps!
